Photography by Neil Bygrave
Based in the South West of England I'm fascinated by the natural world. Through my photography, I hope to inspire interest and appreciation for nature in all its forms.
The site includes a section entitled "My Learning Curve”, essentially a tips and techniques section (including Canon lens, camera and equipment reviews) aimed at those new to digital wildlife, nature and landscape photography.
There is a wildlife species/subject notes section and an illustrated monthly sightings diary. An extensive useful photographic links section , my published images section and highly commended BWPA (British Wildlife Photography Awards) and other competition entries.

Abstract Autumn Nuthatch. Featured in UK TV's popular BBC Autumnwatch Unsprung 25.11.11
This is one of my favourite images. I love how it's instantly identified as a Nuthatch yet is completely blurred.
I caught half this guy by accident then spent the rest of the morning trying to get a better image. This was my best, the tree is not ideal, but that's wildlife photography :-)
